Some 300,000 beneficiaries are set to receive food stamps from the national government as part of the Walang Gutom 2027: Food Stamp Program to be launched in July.

Assistant Secretary Irene Dumlao, spokesperson of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, said the full implementation of the program comes after successful pilot tests in Tondo, Manila, Siargao, Parang, Maguindanao, Camarines Sur and San Mariano, Isabela.

Each beneficiary will receive P3,000 worth of food stamps monthly, which is loaded into an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card. The food stamps can be used to buy select food commodities from eligible partner merchant stores.

“’Yung 300k household beneficiaries ay manggagaling sa 21 provinces mula sa 10 rehiyon. Sila ay natukoy dun sa ating Listahanan Tree o National Housing Targeting System for Poverty Reduction…Sila ay kabilang sa pinakamahihirap na pamilya, sila ‘tung natukoy na food poor,” she said in a TeleRadyo Serbisyo interview.
